Be it known that we, LEvI D. FABWEJ., of Lancaster, county df Worcester, and State of v Massachusetts, and ARTEMUS W. GQDDA'RD, of'Clinton, county of Worcester, 4and State of Massachusetts, have invented-a new n and'useful Improvement on Machines for Paring Fruits or Vegetables and we do hereby declare that the following is a fnlland exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying "drawing, making a part of this specification, inwhich- 1 'i I I Fignrel is a side vie'w. Figure 2, an end view.l vFigure 3 is a detail vievr, tobe hereinafter referred to.

` The nature of our invention consists in applying an attachment to paring-'machines that shall remover-the fruit or vegetable from'the fork mechanically, niter it has 'been pared. l I y To enable others skilled in the art to make and -useoarl invention, we will -proceed to describeit's con# struction and operation.- i i We apply a slide, of the form as shown ntligs. Il., 2,-and 3, which is so attached to thema'chine that italialiv at the pr'per time crowd'tbe fruit or vegetable from thefork.

The slide a is Ymade of malleable iron, or any other suitable miiterial, and is held in place by the fork vrhich it encircles, and the screwv c 4passing through vthe slot d. It is moved in the proper time. by the cam e 0x1 the under side of the bevel-gear, (or any other substantial device,) operating onthe sliding foot g, which isl attached to the lower end of the lever- ,\vhich at the upper end is attached to the slide a. A

Ilaving'described the .manner -in which the devices composing our machine are arranged, we will '.now pro-V ceed to describe how the. same operate-together.

The fruit yor vegetable-being placed on the fork f, in the usual manner, it is pared by turning `the crank it As soon as theskin is removed, the cam e begins to operate en thefoot, g, which, in connection with the lever h,- gives a forward motion to the slide a'in'the directionv ofthe points of the fork'b. I I I As soon as' the fruit or vegetable is. crowded or removed from the fork, the slide-ceases tomove, andremains near the points of the-fork. V

In this position the slideis perfectly free to be moved backwards, yeit l1e r by, crowding on the article 'toV be ared or otherwise.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new; aud'desire to -secure by,Lettersj Patenty The' slide a, the lever Il, and the foot g with com e, or anyotherA mechanical device, s nbstantiallygas andll for the purpose speciiied. v v. A
